Manohar Lal called Nehru an accidental Prime Minister

Gurugram, 13 January 2025- In Haryana, the political verbal war between the two former Chief Ministers of the state has intensified. Senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has hit back at the statement given by former CM and Union Minister Manohar Lal on Nehru.

Former Chief Minister of the state and currently Union Minister Manohar Lal has said that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was an accidental Prime Minister. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar or Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel should have been made the Prime Minister. Manohar Lal was addressing the ‘Samvidhan Gaurav and National Youth Day celebrations’ at Maharishi Dayanand University on Sunday.

In response, former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda hit back and said that Manohar Lal himself was an accidental Chief Minister. There is no achievement to tell. Such statements are being made to divert people’s attention.

Manohar Lal said, “Dr. Ambedkar also played an important role in the economic development of the country, he was among the leading leaders of the country. I even say that Jawaharlal Nehru became the Prime Minister by accident, if Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel or Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar could have been brought forward in his place. However, this was the decision of that time. Someone had to become the Prime Minister. ”

On the other hand, while answering a question at his residence in D Park, former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said that Congress respected Dr. Ambedkar completely. He was the chairman of the Constitution Drafting Assembly. He played an important role in making the Constitution.

“One Nation-One Election has no meaning. Congress had only amended the Constitution, whereas BJP wants to abolish the Constitution itself. Congress will not let this happen,” Hooda continued.

Hooda said that former Chief Minister Manohar Lal was the Chief Minister of the state for about 9 years, but today he has no achievements to tell. That is why he keeps criticizing the Congress. Regarding EVM, Hooda said that everyone knows how the Election Commission is doing. The matter is pending in the High Court.

Hooda on farmers issues

Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda says that the standing crops of wheat, mustard and vegetables have suffered heavy losses due to unseasonal rains. Waterlogging has also been observed in some areas. The government should take cognizance of this soon and give compensation. People from many villages have come to meet him. The condition of farmer leader Dallewal, who is on a fast unto death, remains very worrying. But BJP is not even ready to take cognizance of it nor is it talking to the agitators. Whereas without wasting a single moment, he should resolve the demands of the farmers as soon as possible and end Dallewal’s fast.
